471.Chapter 469 468 Damned copy key and open door quest available

Chapter 469 468.Damn copy keys and door opening quests can be so annoying!

Damn things were progressing as Torn Flesh had expected, the Transylvanians were advancing at an exceedingly fast speed.

Almost in the morning of the next day, the vanguard squad of the fastest advancing student party had already appeared in the view of Plague Town’s watchtower, and those assholes who had wrapped themselves up like dumplings were carrying the battle flags of the Blood Vulture Clan and Transylvania with big grins and, in the midst of a farcical howl of rejoicing, very arrogantly planted the thing on the hill opposite Plague Town with big grins, just like the Old Sixes of the Battle Ground cheered as if they had at last taken possession of a point.

This is like a sign, is a symbol, represents the player’s forces have finally arrived at the “Swamp Shadow” big event of the last link, they are from the end of this big event is only one step left to raid this copy of the group in front of the last step.

The action of the students planting the flag also gave them a hidden achievement of “Victory Day” in the process of raiding.

Unfortunately, Lord Murphy set a time limit of 40 days for “Shadow of the Swamp”, but it took almost 20 days for Loyalty to get the incendiary bombs and produce them, plus a series of operations before and after, resulting in only 12 days left before the deadline.

To be honest, this is not generous at all.

“Crap, this terrain is killing us!”

Bull wrapped a ring of grass around his battle helmet for pointless camouflage.

He lay on his back in the grass and held up his monocular telescope to look around in the direction of Plague Town, and although the massive fog of war shrouded him from seeing anything of value at all, the terrain aspect at least wasn’t going to lie.

“The bastard jackals drove the undead to dig up the ground around the town to make a wide moat, and while I don’t know what exists in that oddly colored river, I definitely don’t want to jump in and try.

Only the bridge over the river can enter the town, and it turns out that there are tons of high-level undead guarding each of the three sides of the damn thing, so if you want to get into the town you’ll have to clear out the last group of elites in front of you.”

Bull put down his binoculars and said to the similarly dressed Cat beside him:
“That open terrain below means that as long as we go down there’s no danger to defend, the other side has completely taken over the favorable terrain, there’s no other way at all except to force an attack.”

“Well, Mrs. Water and Brother Woo Meow’s predictions in their previous posts were accurate.”

Brother Cat, who was carrying a heavy sword, also nodded and said:
“This is clearly a replica cluster, if you want to enter the team replica of the land of rotting corpses, you’ll have to solve the small replicas in the three directions on the periphery, a classic replica quest line, and I’m guessing that you’ll also have to go on quests to fight for the key.”

“Hey, come back quickly, the NPC is sending out quests.”

In the cat just finished talking, the rear of the temporary position on the sound of Badger’s shout, bull and cat looked at each other, and then helplessly got up to return to the position, the result is to see the “Bloody Widow” Ms. Mary dressed in a very conservative black dress flapped wings and slowly fell.

Her left hand, flat on her chest, was holding a pair of scrolls, and she hovered in the air a few inches above the ground in the form of a “messenger”, clearing her throat and shouting to the warriors who surrounded her, still smelling of smoke:
“I bring with me an order from the leader of the Midnight Faction of the Blood Wyvern Clan, the Countess of Andromeda, Lord Phymis!
By order of Governor Murphy, the Great Lady will come to the swamp to support you in your attack on Plague Town, but the honorable Great Lady will not be directly involved in the attack on the Jackals, she will assist you in dispersing the Fog of War and counteracting the mage towers that the Jackals have stolen.

Missy will make sure that every team of warriors that sets foot in Plague Town is not hindered or attacked by the Mage Towers!
However, Plague Town’s mage towers are built on the nodes of the swamp’s psychic energy flow, which allows Lord Phymis’ psychic countermeasures to not last too long, and each countermeasure will leave you with 6 hours of free time to attack.

At the end of this time, you must exit Plague Town immediately to avoid the devastating counterattacks from the Jackal Warlocks.

However, in order for Missy to safely preside over the Spirit Energy Counter Ceremony, you must first clear out the undead defenders near Plague Town, but I believe that this will not be difficult for the warriors of Transylvania.”

“Crap! Isn’t this mechanism just a murderous rotation system?”

After Lady Mary finished the information that Missy brought, the little wit in the crowd instantly shouted:

“So, we don’t even have the power to freely raid the copy now? We still have to seek help from NPCs to open the door? What the hell kind of design is this?”

“You know a chicken, this is called running keys understand? The classic group book door opening quest is the same as you have to go to the Black Stone Tower before you fight the Black Dragon Sister before looking for Lexa.

Fuck!
Speaking of which I remembered my miserable days when I was pathetically searching all over the map looking for Leksa that loser.”

“Say, there’s always been people saying that Rexar’s bear was changed by a druid girl, is that true or not?”

“Ghost knows, but Misha’s big slaps on people really hurt.”

Seeing that the crowd had begun their daily tirades, the several guild leaders who had formed an alliance on this western defense line came together to discuss the situation, and Curse Blue, the Demon of the Moon of the Demon Eight Collection, was the first to speak up:

“Apparently, the development team is making a very new and heartless attempt, and the progress of whether or not the copy can be raided is all dependent on whether or not we can clear out Plague Town in the six hours it takes for Missy to turn on the countermeasures.

I think it’s up in the air, what do you guys think?”

“That’s for you to say, the difficulty of the group books in this damn game has always been drawn out, okay?”

Good Dove rolled her eyes and said with a sad face again:

“And when the group book is raided for the first time, the monsters inside won’t be refreshed, which means that if we rush in but don’t manage to finish off the BOSS within the allotted time, it’ll just be cheaper for the next challenger.

There’s also the Hall of Fame feature that has been opened.

Fuck!
The pressure pulls full simply.”

“I think instead of thinking about how to raid the group, you guys should just ground yourselves and think about how to handle the small copies before the group.”

Teacher Li sat cross-legged in place and shook his head:
“I just went down for a spin with Old Yang and seduced a few Skeleton Soldiers to try out their strength, and I must seriously tell you guys that the strength attributes of the Skeleton Soldiers here are at least twice as much as the undead roaming around the periphery.

And they even use a complete set of Undead Sword Arts, they are absolute elite monsters!”

“Well, our direction is filled with Skeleton Soldiers and Underworld Knights, with few necromancers to be seen.”

Master Yang used a whetstone to polish the Spiritual Poison Blade of Ambition and Dreams in his own hand, this was the weapon that Cat had replaced and given to him to use, for a swordsman, a good weapon like this in his hand was completely half the battle.

He said to the others:

“I’ve contacted my wife, she’s over at the Woo Meow Brother and Silver Moon Regiment’s defense line and has received an invitation to join the regiment from the Lady of Water, she told me that the southern defense line’s position is full of necromancers and skeleton mages.

That side is a copy of the law-type monsters, while Rod’s northern front is probably a copy of the ghost-type enemies.

The enemy styles in the three directions were very different, which doomed us to never just apply our raiding styles to each other either.

But the question I’m pondering right now is, since the development team set us up with support forces from the start this time, can the support forces provide help when we attack the outer copies?”

“Hm? This is something we didn’t think of.”

Pigeon Treasure blinked and immediately sent a message to Che Che, who was currently transporting the injured to the Smuggler’s Woodlands, and a few minutes later, Che Che’s side returned the message.

“I just asked Major Ron about it, and that poor big bald guy told me that their second shipment of supplies has been delivered to the camp, and Marshal Loren sent them thirty field guns that can be flexibly moved.

The Major said they could push some of the field guns down the ‘Path of Ashes’ to the front line positions if we needed them, so we could get fire support from the Goldfinch artillery when we attacked the replicas.

The covering fire can help us take out some of the undead stragglers!”

Che Che’s voice echoed in the tent through Pigeon Treasure’s Operational Treasure Pearl.

This perfectly confirmed Master Yang’s suspicion that the support forces were indeed right in name!
The preliminary combat could help guard the sentry posts, and the subsequent combat could also provide fire support, sure enough the development team didn’t take things to the extreme, and still left a silver lining for the players.

“Well, according to this line of thought, then there are similar supports on the other two lines as well?”

Bull narrowed his eyes and said:
“Didn’t the Church of Avalon over in the south help Brother Woo Meow get an army of nature? Those Tree People will definitely help when they attack the copies, and over on the northern front there are the Thorn Clan’s Nightwalkers, who might be able to help Brother Stick’s legions kill those difficult enemies that are marked in advance in seconds.

However, the assistance from all three parties is definitely based on reputation, so if we don’t brush up on our reputation in advance, I guess the help we can get will be very limited.”

“Yards, it’s really a loop, the development team that was once so simple as to be one-dimensional has now grown to a level of cunning that blocks both ends.”

Badger cursed.

But the good news was that they had reached a pretty good cooperation model with the Golden Sparrow Vanguard during their previous attack on the sentry posts, plus the field hospital in the Smuggler’s Woodland had been functioning all the time, players wouldn’t be injured, only NPCs would need to be healed, and the hospital operated by the Demon of the Stripped Trousers had rescued a lot of injured soldiers over the past half a month. This alone is enough to make Colonel Fraser’s attitude towards the Transylvanians change a lot, at this time in the face of the student party’s request for fire support it is estimated that they will not hide, after all, it is just a distance away as a coward who can only shoot guns.

This is much safer than the student party and the martial arts monks who are charging into battle on the front lines!

“Then let’s get it done!”

Mr. Li propped his hands on his knees and said in a deep voice:

“It’ll take time for the Goldfinch soldiers to bring over the field guns, but we can’t wait, we’ll start moving into position this afternoon, and we’ll first use our way to wear down those Skeleton Army. It just so happens that the mortars sent by the arsenal are excellent fire support, and we all need to learn how to use this weapon of war.”

“What’s that, you guys go ahead and fight, we won’t be taking part in the pre-raid.”

Pigeon Treasure suddenly coughed.

As the others looked on in surprise, the leader of this student party looked around and lowered his voice:
“Badger and I have a strange idea we’d like to put into practice, it’s not in the development team’s schedule, but I’ve been reviewing a lot of information and I think it might work. We may need a little time to corroborate our suspicions!
We’ll have results in three days at the most, so you don’t have to wait for us.

By then, if it really works, we might be able to bypass this series of constraints set up by the development group altogether and have a clean and direct hit!”

“Are you guys finding any strange bugs?”

Cat whispered:
“From what you guys are saying, this bug is pretty powerful? I say, nowadays the development team is very uptight about cracking down on card bugs, look at what happened to Brother Woo Meow and Brother Stick before, I mean you guys take it easy, don’t overplay your hand.”

“How can this be called a bug?”

Badger retorted, hugging his arms:
“We’re just reading between the lines of the local lore to find some clues that we can use to our advantage, okay? If the development team doesn’t welcome us to get in on this, then they shouldn’t have set up such a backstory in the first place.

Wouldn’t it be a bad idea to say more now lest the other little wizards figure out we’re planning a sneak preview?
Anyway, you guys try to get through it the normal way first.

We’re just making a backup plan.

Once we find out that things aren’t right when we really hit Plague Town, it won’t be too late for us to start this risky scenario again.”

“Well, let’s do that.”

Teacher Li nodded, and Curse Blue, who had come here on behalf of the Demon Eight Jie Set, was fine with it, but the guy made a somewhat nonsensical request.

Because the Demon Eight is a famous “cultist group”.

Among the eight of them, there are four Tricksters and four Coffin Bearers, and the common characteristic of these two professions is that they need to find spirits or undead creatures to bind and manipulate in order to improve their skill proficiency, especially for the necromancer’s subordinate profession, Coffin Bearer, the unique undead minions belong to the “combat resources”.

Therefore, Curse Blue hoped that the other two teams would help out, and if they found any strange undead in the course of attacking Plague Town, they must be merciful and leave it to their eight brothers to do some research.

These eight strange characters also have some ambitions!

They had already planned to take advantage of the Plague Town’s raid to equip their eight brothers with elite undead servants, only in this way could they reflect their “fallen majesty” as Cultist players.

Another reason for Curse Blue to take the initiative was that the wealthy owner of Treasure Bay had given them an odd order, and that cultist village chief was in desperate need of some special samples of spirits to improve his Trickster skill.

But the rich man was busy counting his money under the four golden flowers, how could he have time to come to the battlefield himself?
Therefore, the job of collecting powerful Spirit Seeds fell on the head of Demon Bajieji.

The bounty offered by Old Huo for this job is quite high, and Curse Blue can’t let go of it for the sake of the team’s development.

But you can’t say it’s self-interest, after all, in the process of raiding the copy, the Devil’s Eight are also contributing a lot of effort, without them dispersing the surrounding undead all the way, the guilds of the western front can’t cross the chaotic battle line so quickly to reach here.

For example, the players on the other two fronts are still trekking hard.

“Even though I’m fighting for the honor of the Holy Light and can’t complain about the suffering, but the Holy Light is above us, the road in this stinking swamp is so damned hard to walk, and these cursed undead that deserve to go to hell even come out to sneak attack from time to time!
Luckily, there were tree men around to protect us, otherwise we would have lost another batch of people just for this section of the road.

Didn’t we say that the bombardment last night was successful?
Why is the swamp still full of undead?

Blanch, the vampire pilots on the front line aren’t lying about the military situation, are they?”

On the southern front, Uncle Fording, who was sent over to support the battle, was full of profanity, not even a bit of paladin’s decency was left behind, but it wasn’t his fault that the group of people behind him were all full of complaints, even Miss Bitch, who had always been full of vitality and full of majesty, wilted at this time.

She hadn’t bathed in nine days.
Every day, she felt like she was turning into a smelly can, and the most difficult thing for Becky was that everyone was obviously trekking through the swamp in the same way, so why was her best friend, Raven Rider, still able to maintain her fragrant, soft, and clean posture?

“Don’t look at me like that, it’s my God-given power.”

Livian Knight sensed Biki’s resentment, and she shrugged, explaining:

“The Star Realm Dragon is the God of Purification, His followers can naturally maintain their natural purity, and being spotless is just a basic ‘perk’ of our lives, speaking of which, would little Biki like to take a moment to listen to me describe our Eastern Holy Spirit and Lord of Purification to you?”

“Don’t don’t! It’s annoying.”

Bikki squealed, covering her ears:
“It’s already annoying enough to have a Tepal yakking about the will of the Holy Light in my ears all day, so don’t you come along for the ride. Wow! Wild undead have appeared in front of us! Look at my Master Hammer! Throw!”

“Bang!”

The spinning heavy flying hammer was smashed by Bikki with precision, sending the skull of the skeletal archer who poked his head out of the rotten ground flying.

This was like stirring up a hornet’s nest, more undead rushed out from their hiding places, and Biki, who had long been building up anger in her heart, led the other whiny paladins to howl and rush out to do battle with those skeletons.

For a time the bad situation of swamp life was temporarily forgotten, and the bravado of battle surged back into the warriors’ minds.

Raven, on her horse, did not take part in it.

The half-dragon rider just sat there quietly, then she listened to the invisible voice with her side ear again after a few seconds she lowered her head and whispered:

“As you said, they have yet to find a way forward, like confused and belligerent rams, but they won’t stay that way . Didn’t you say last time that subspace had shaken so slightly that it was almost imperceptible?

An imperceptible but gentle cry, announcing that the seeds of change have been planted.

My Lord.

May you be kind to these foreigners and their beliefs, they are not bad people, in fact, I think they are exactly the kind of people this world needs most in the midst of chaos.

Not to proclaim any authority, not to fulfill any purpose, but simply to fight only for the best part of humanity.”

Another gust of invisible wind blew through the room, causing Raven Knight to reopen her eyes.

The shifting of those turquoise serpent pupils represented the great power that was looking at the material world through the eyes of a mortal, and after only a few seconds that power drew away leaving only a hint of what could be described as a gentle response to its own unique believer.

Perhaps the mysterious and powerful Dragon of the Astral Plane is also looking forward to this change that is only a ripple at the moment, after all, even the smallest seed will grow into a huge tree in time.

Each Star Realm Giant was born in such a way, as if a new miracle would be staged again in this chaotic era.

One day, the power called the Holy Light will answer the desire and the call.
Yes, sir.

One day.
